Residential High Efficiency Toilet Rebate

The single best thing you can do to improve toilet efficiency is to replace an old inefficient toilet with a newer water-efficient model. Toilets are typically the largest indoor water user. Older toilets use between 3.5 and 7 gallons per flush (gpf) while new water-efficient High Efficiency Toilets (HET) and Dual Flush Toilets use 1.28 gpf or less. This is more than 50% to 75% savings in water per toilet! With a high efficiency toilet, a household can save up to 16,000 gallons of water per toilet per year!

1.28 gpf High-Efficiency Toilet (HET) Rebate

Apply for a $40 rebate when you replace your old water-wasting toilet with an EPA WaterSense labeled 1.28 gpf High-Efficiency Toilet (HET). For a list of qualified WaterSense models, visit www.epa.gov/watersense. Limit: 2 HET rebates per household.
